| Fudge | hi | 11:33 |
| Fudge | whats the command to unmute sound? is it alsactl set-sink-volume 100 100 or something like that | 11:34 |
| TVasEyes | Fudge: I use alsamixer from a console or xterm and manage settings visually (is a ncurses frontend), then use alsactl store to make settings permanent. | 11:36 |
| Fudge | hey TVasEyes , i use that too but i'm figuring out a command for when sound is muted since i use text to speech and would have no way of knowing what is happening | 11:37 |
| TVasEyes | ah, ok. sorry. | 11:38 |
| Fudge | ah pacmd set-sink-volume 0 100% | 11:39 |
| TVasEyes | :) | 11:39 |
| Fudge | no need to be sorry its a good suggestion :D | 11:39 |
| TVasEyes | glad you found it though. | 11:39 |
| Fudge | grep'd logs, now to read up on that man page, i really wanna try the daily of xubuntu coz i like xfce but have never been able to get it to work that great with gnome-orca unless you basically use all the apps you would normally use in a gnome desktop | 11:41 |
| lordjj | Hi. I have a primary partition holding a windows, and an extended partition with 6 logical partitions inside it, 3 of which are /, /home, and swap for an existing distro. I want to set up a new distro with only a /, and swap. What's the best course of action? Creating a new primary partition for the new distro's /? And if I do so, can I share the swap of the existing distro? Or should I make a logical partition for the new distro inside the extended partit | 11:42 |
| lordjj | ion? | 11:42 |
| Fudge | well u can share swaps yes, only one OS will use it at any one time | 11:43 |
| lordjj | If I set up the new distro on a new primary partition (say sda3), can it access the swap partition that's in the extended partition (sda7)? | 11:45 |
| TVasEyes | yes. | 11:45 |
| Fudge | you will notice when you are on the live cd that it will use your swap as well | 11:45 |
| lordjj | They don't have to be inside the same primary/extended partition then, if I understand correctly. | 11:45 |
| TVasEyes | not even on the same hard drive. | 11:46 |
| lordjj | Ok, thanks. | 11:46 |
| lordjj | I understand windows needs its own primary partition | 11:46 |
| Fudge | you could always shrink an existing partition within your extended and use the space for your new OS on a / | 11:46 |
| lordjj | The same is not true for having multiplr distros? | 11:46 |
| Fudge | some BSD flavours require primary | 11:47 |
| TVasEyes | for instance lordjj, I've /boot in a primary and / and swap in logical partitions. | 11:47 |
| lordjj | Ah, alright. | 11:48 |
| Fudge | i have wondered if you could install windows ot a primary then use gparted to move it into a logical and tell grub where it is, if it would work | 11:48 |
| TVasEyes | no idea, sounds dicey. (I got rid of my last Win XP a couple of weeks ago :) ) | 11:48 |
| lordjj | hm | 11:49 |
| lordjj | Any advantage to having the new distro's / on its own primary partition? Performance, or anything? | 11:49 |
| TVasEyes | Fudge: wouldn't try though since C: drive is first partition on first hd, I think | 11:49 |
| TVasEyes | should make little difference lordjj, the distinction is largely historical. | 11:50 |
| Fudge | i could always dd a windows machien and throw it at a linux machine and see what happens, even though it would have a hissy fit with the hardware and basically not work | 11:50 |
| Fudge | i'm told even wubi ubuntu still runs as good as native | 11:51 |
| TVasEyes | yes, "Windows Advantage has detected ...." :) | 11:51 |
| lordjj | I tried wubi once, it got corrupted after a power failure | 11:51 |
| Fudge | :D bbs booting xubuntu precise | 11:51 |
| TVasEyes | lordjj: you could install new distro(s) as virtual machines on existing system. | 11:52 |
| TVasEyes | I really rate working with VirtualBox. | 11:52 |
| lordjj | Yes, I understand, but I'm aiming for a full install. | 11:52 |
| TVasEyes | ok. | 11:52 |
| lordjj | I supposed I'll default to ext4. Anyone recommends ReiserFS? | 11:53 |
| baizon | not me :) | 11:54 |
| baizon | btrfs :) | 11:54 |
| TVasEyes | I use journaled FS only for /home and for my database partition. / and /boot are largely static, so ext2 is fine. | 11:54 |
| baizon | but its not solid stable :D | 11:54 |
| lordjj | This discourages me baizon "Warning: Btrfs has not yet implemented a fsck utility. The filesystem cannot be repaired if corruption occurs." | 11:54 |
| baizon | yes thats what i ment in my last line :) | 11:55 |
| Sysi | ext4 is solid and fast enough | 11:56 |
| lordjj | do you consider /var static though? | 11:56 |
| baizon | Sysi: agree | 11:56 |
| Sysi | you want ssd anyway | 11:56 |
| baizon | i use ext4 for all my partitions | 11:56 |
| baizon | ext4 is optimized for ssd, am i right Sysi ? | 11:57 |
| Sysi | not really | 11:57 |
| baizon | :( | 11:57 |
| baizon | but its the best file system | 11:57 |
| Sysi | not reallywell, TRIM might be ext4 only | 11:57 |
| baizon | if not then i have to research | 11:58 |
| baizon | cause im planning to buy a ssd in the next month | 11:58 |
| lordjj | I'm a bit concerned about what Grub will show me after I install the new distro. I suppose that's always a simple fix though. | 12:02 |
| phillipmaloney | what do you expect grub to show you? | 12:04 |
| lordjj | Well I had it where Grub had 2 linux entries that pointed to the same newly isntalled distro once | 12:05 |
| phillipmaloney | thats odd | 12:07 |
| Fudge | ok guys maybe someone can give me some really simple info on xubuntu how it boots | 12:22 |
| Fudge | since i cant really see what's happening on the screen, can someone fil me in on what happens | 12:23 |
| Fudge | is it like ubuntu, boots into a live desktop? | 12:23 |
| Fudge | at the boot screen does f5 still have accessibility boot options, f5, choosen language then screen reader is # 3 etc | 12:24 |
| Fudge | if anyone has a live image they could boot from to tell me that would be really helpful :) | 12:25 |
| * metasansana pulls out the boot usb | 12:40 | |
| metasansana | Fudge: give me a second | 12:40 |
| Fudge | :D thanks | 12:42 |
| metasansana | crap I forgot I put Debian on this thing | 12:43 |
| metasansana | Ill have to reconnect my dvd drive | 12:43 |
| Fudge | ahahah loL its all good | 12:43 |
| Fudge | the xubuntu installation guide says The installation process for Xubuntu is basically the same as for Ubuntu. Please refer to the Ubuntu Installation Guide for more information. | 12:44 |
| Fudge | which tells me that hopefully the new accessibility method from oneiric pushing control S when you hear the drums sound should activate accessibility, not sure for xubuntu though since gnome-orca i believe is not part of the iamge | 12:44 |
| Fudge | image, maybe they shoudl fork it to zoo-orca loL | 12:45 |
| metasansana | :/ | 12:46 |
| metasansana | you mean ctrl+s at log in | 12:46 |
| metasansana | ? | 12:46 |
| metasansana | or at boot time ? | 12:46 |
| Fudge | when the desktop loads on live cd | 12:48 |
| metasansana | well xubuntu is xfce | 12:48 |
| Fudge | i think it is the same as the boot otion pushing f5 and choosing language, the accessibility you want and then proceeding that way | 12:48 |
| Fudge | yep i know | 12:48 |
| Fudge | all i could see is a box coming up when i hit enter and going away again after hitting enter again, loop. | 12:49 |
| metasansana | ok let me check | 12:49 |
| metasansana | I am on 11.10 btw | 12:50 |

| cYmen | any suggestsion? | 13:13 |
| cYmen | suggestions | 13:14 |
| lordjj | isn't there a file in your home to set keyboard shortcuts? | 13:37 |
| cYmen | uh...I don't know? :) | 13:42 |
| lordjj | You're setting them in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml ? | 13:42 |
| cYmen | No, I'm setting them using the settings manager.... | 13:42 |

| XartaoX | XD | 14:54 |
| XartaoX | i likez options, but criminey!!! | 14:54 |
| GridCube | XartaoX, on xchat, uncheck "sort channel names by alphabetical order", then you can sort them as you please | 14:57 |
| XartaoX | it IZ unchecked | 14:59 |
| GridCube | oh, well, enjoy testing other irc clients :P | 15:03 |
| XartaoX | lolz | 15:03 |
| XartaoX | fair nuf i guess | 15:03 |
| XartaoX | i also find, with XChat, that no matter WHAT colors I customize, whatever I type shows up grey in the channel | 15:04 |
| GridCube | oh, what YOU type is shown to YOU grey, for the rest its how you meant it | 15:05 |
| XartaoX | i see | 15:06 |
| GridCube | OH, no, i lied, it does not | 15:06 |
| XartaoX | i see | 15:06 |
| GridCube | it does show colors, but i can't use them in this channels | 15:07 |
| GridCube | colors are against the rules :P | 15:07 |
| XartaoX | i just want classic black background, what I've said gree, what others say red | 15:07 |

| XartaoX | ja | 15:10 |
| GridCube | indeed | 15:11 |
| XartaoX | you see ... it seems no matter WHICH colors i set, it doesn't affect what I've typed | 15:11 |
| GridCube | thats one of the colors | 15:11 |
| XartaoX | nope | 15:12 |
| XartaoX | GAH!!! | 15:12 |
| XartaoX | oh never mind | 15:13 |
| XartaoX | i found it | 15:13 |
| XartaoX | i guess it wasn't grey, it was dark blueish something | 15:13 |
| XartaoX | sorry | 15:13 |
| XartaoX | and thx | 15:13 |
| GridCube | np | 15:13 |
| XartaoX | ... still can't drag-reorder my tabs tho | 15:13 |
| XartaoX | oh well | 15:13 |
| GridCube | XartaoX, did you restarted xchat after uncheckig? | 15:14 |
| XartaoX | it was already unchecked when i started it | 15:15 |
| GridCube | oh | 15:15 |
| XartaoX | however, i have to restart due to some color settings i just made, so we'll see after that | 15:15 |
| XartaoX | brb | 15:15 |
| XartaoX | nope. still no dragging tabs about | 15:16 |
| GridCube | XartaoX, i suppose you will be hapier on #xchat :P | 15:16 |

| hobgoblin | then they appear to hang | 16:40 |
| hobgoblin | just looked at the laptop - there were updates for both the good and the bad queued - guessing it's to do with that | 16:40 |
| hobgoblin | just updating the lappy - see if it breaks the same :) | 16:41 |
| Sysi | have you tried rebooting? | 16:42 |

| hobgoblin | I've had a few other people check in ubuntu - no problems | 17:28 |
| lordjj | 40GB for / (including home and everything) should be enough (knowing that I store all my media on other partitions) right? | 17:41 |
| hobgoblin | I'd say so | 17:41 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | It's ok, I personnally use 20 GiB for / , so it lets you 20 GiB for /home | 17:46 |
| hobgoblin | my / is about 16GB - use about 9Gb - but most of my data is music and that lives elsewhere | 17:47 |
| lordjj | I'm just gonna put it all in one partition | 17:48 |
| hobgoblin | it'll be fine | 17:49 |
| lordjj | Yeah my current install is only using 9.5 GB. I wonder if 40GB is too much now :p | 17:49 |
| hobgoblin | I stopped using a seperate /home long ago | 17:49 |
| lordjj | I used to at first, but I'd always fill it up, and end up having unused GBs in the / partition | 17:50 |
| hobgoblin | If all your data is elsewhere then I would think that 40 is too much - depends what you intend to do and install I giuess | 17:50 |
| lordjj | I usually store my stuff elsewhere. | 17:51 |
| hobgoblin | lordjj: I stopped once I started using other drives for data - seemed pointless, if I wanted I could just symlink - but as it is moutning in /mnt suits me fine | 17:51 |
| lordjj | I might experiment with DEs though, not sure how big those can get | 17:51 |
| hobgoblin | mmm - you want me to have a look? | 17:52 |
| lordjj | Sure | 17:52 |
| hobgoblin | ubuntu - 96Mb, kubuntu - 375Mb - other *boxes won't be much at all | 17:53 |
| lordjj | hm, there's enough space then | 17:53 |
| lordjj | Maybe I'll go 30GB | 17:54 |
| hobgoblin | you can always remove them - as long as you actually remove not just the *-desktop package | 17:54 |

| lordjj | Ah, handy | 17:57 |
| hobgoblin | indeed it is :) | 17:57 |
| lordjj | I'm thinking of just using blackbox | 17:59 |
| lordjj | It's amazing to login so fast | 17:59 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 18:00 |
| hobgoblin | not used that - have used fluxbox in the past - liked that | 18:00 |

| GridCube | XartaoX: what do you mean by 'hit' | 20:12 |
| XartaoX | performance | 20:12 |
| GridCube | http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 20:13 |
| MsPelled | GridCube: thanks for the info. I think I need an even more primitive bootcamp on how to use ubuntu generally. | 20:13 |
| MsPelled | awesome idea, but sooooo unintuitive | 20:13 |
| GridCube | XartaoX: ^^^^^ there you get info on how some apps behave on wine | 20:13 |
| MsPelled | I think I have to go back to a stupid corporate OS. Sigh. | 20:13 |
| XartaoX | there's some astronomy apps i kinda need .. altho there are native linux alternatives, or stuff i can compile | 20:13 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: :P its not unintuitive if you use linux for a few months, using the terminal is always better :D | 20:14 |
| XartaoX | steam, eh? hmmmm .... perhaps I can play X3: Reunion on this box after all | 20:14 |
| GridCube | XartaoX: check here http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 20:14 |
| GridCube | :) | 20:14 |
| MsPelled | I've actually been using linux for a year or so, but only the surface stuff. now that something is wrong, I realize how little I know... | 20:14 |
| XartaoX | thx | 20:15 |
| MsPelled | p.s. been at LEAST ten years since I used IRC, too! This is a last-ditch attempt | 20:15 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: thats actually pretty cool, it means *buntu people is doing stuff right :P | 20:15 |
| XartaoX | looks like i'm installing Wine today .... .... BUT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A WORKSTATION, NOT FOR GAMES!! | 20:15 |
| * XartaoX apologizes for the yelling | 20:15 | |
| MsPelled | lol xartaox | 20:15 |
| MsPelled | work/play - where's the line, after all?? | 20:16 |
| GridCube | XartaoX: :P you could scream and offtopic | 20:16 |
| GridCube | s/and/in/ | 20:16 |
| mongy | MsPelled, open a terminal and type catfish, then left click select the output and right click copy. then goto paste.ubuntu.com and paste in there and then copy paste the link it gives you. | 20:17 |
| XartaoX | oh dear. Oblivion too ... Xd | 20:17 |
| MsPelled | mongy: tx so much. output = "RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file" | 20:17 |
| GridCube | thats everithing it outputs MsPelled ? | 20:18 |
| MsPelled | yep, that's it, Grid | 20:18 |
| mongy | fffhmm | 20:18 |
| MsPelled | and thanks Mongy for letting me know wth a pastebin is! | 20:18 |
| MsPelled | < --- is a fast learner, but woefully uninformed | 20:19 |
| mongy | and what does /usr/bin/catfish do | 20:19 |
| MsPelled | in terminal? | 20:19 |
| mongy | yes | 20:19 |
| MsPelled | same output - bad magic number, etc | 20:19 |
| MsPelled | give it to me, straight, doc. | 20:20 |
| MsPelled | is it terminal? | 20:20 |
| MsPelled | bwahahahaha...sorry, cracked meself up with a pun | 20:20 |
| MsPelled | seriously, I dunno what's wrong | 20:20 |
| MsPelled | hell, I dunno what's right. | 20:20 |
| mongy | what version are you using? | 20:20 |
| MsPelled | cept that catfish sits on the couch all day | 20:20 |
| MsPelled | ummm...how do I find out which version I'm using? | 20:21 |
| MsPelled | xfce 4.8 | 20:21 |
| MsPelled | does that help? | 20:21 |
| GridCube | catfish --version | 20:21 |
| GridCube | on a terminal | 20:21 |
| MsPelled | oh. sorry. | 20:21 |
| mongy | is your xubuntu an upgrade? | 20:22 |
| MsPelled | mongy: not sure what you're asking | 20:22 |
| mongy | hmm | 20:22 |
| MsPelled | this is an old laptop that I resurrected with ubuntu rather than going out and buying something from The Man. :/ | 20:22 |
| GridCube | he asks if its a clean install or you did a software center updaet | 20:22 |
| mongy | sudo apt-get remove --purge catfish | 20:22 |
| MsPelled | oh....yes, clean install | 20:22 |
| mongy | sudo apt-get clean | 20:23 |
| mongy | sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install catfish | 20:23 |
| MsPelled | removing catfish now | 20:23 |
| mongy | in fact.... just to be sure, stick a sudo rm /usr/share/catfish -rf after the clean | 20:23 |

| GridCube | D: | 20:25 |
| MsPelled | removed, cleaned, -rf'd, installed. | 20:25 |
| GridCube | mongy: dont you ever say that again | 20:25 |
| GridCube | D: | 20:25 |
| GridCube | not on an open channel | 20:25 |
| pangolin | Sebastien: please disable that script for Ubuntu channels and please ask permission before enabling any talking scripts in the future | 20:25 |
| MsPelled | *stares stupidly* what did mongy say? | 20:25 |
| mongy | what? | 20:25 |
| Pici | Sebastien: in ubuntu channels that is. | 20:25 |
| MsPelled | should I be blushing?? | 20:25 |
| pangolin | right | 20:25 |
| GridCube | !rm | 20:26 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:26 |
| MsPelled | tx, ubottu - got the link | 20:26 |
| mongy | and what if that file is a problem and it's not removed by apt? then what | 20:26 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: to delete files use a file manager, try to never use a terminal to do rm its VERY VERY DANGEROUS TO USE IT | 20:26 |
| XartaoX | yet another query from me: I'll be around now and then 'til I get up to speed here =] | 20:26 |
| XartaoX | can anyone direct me to some help with applying seperate ICC profiles to each monitor in my dual-head setup? | 20:27 |
| MsPelled | gridcube: too late? | 20:27 |
| MsPelled | eep. | 20:27 |
| XartaoX | i've created a profile for each monitor already, using LProf | 20:27 |
| mongy | ok then. try and run it then | 20:28 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: ok, but you could pretty much do a lot more of harm doing it than anything you actually had | 20:28 |
| MsPelled | will read some more before I screw up more files... and maybe that's why catfish is acting silly? did I screw it up?? | 20:28 |
| GridCube | nah | 20:28 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: catfish depends on python, and its version number, and md5 number does not coincide with what you have, so its saying "lol this is not what i know is safe to run so i wont run it" | 20:29 |
| GridCube | you see, if you google your error its a pretty common one | 20:30 |
| MsPelled | Ohhhhh. I think I know what I did! I had to install TextSTAT - which needed an older version of Python | 20:30 |
| MsPelled | so there's a mismatch | 20:30 |
| GridCube | there you have it | 20:30 |
| MsPelled | grid, I tried to google this, but didn't find anything | 20:31 |
| MsPelled | so ... fixing python is key? | 20:31 |
| GridCube | indeed | 20:31 |
| MsPelled | ahhh. | 20:31 |
| MsPelled | *runs off to research "how to unscrew-up Python" on google. | 20:31 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22RuntimeError%3A+Bad+magic+number+in+.pyc+file%22 | 20:32 |
| MsPelled | LOL @ lmgtfy. Very insulting | 20:33 |
| MsPelled | < -- not an idiot, just new! ;) | 20:33 |
| GridCube | :P its just a joke | 20:33 |
| MsPelled | < -- and grateful, even for tongue-in-cheek help! | 20:33 |
| GridCube | MsPelled: use /me | 20:34 |
| mongy | MsPelled, you seem quite capable, as you were aware of the python downgrade | 20:38 |
